Re:

I think some campag rims were concave to start with. Doesnt make it easy to assess wear though.

Ah...

Am I going to kick myself for cutting it out of the hub now?

:facepalm:

Looks like a Mirox. I worked on the 'Campag rims are concave' principle when I bought them. They then became very concave indeed as the entire bead edge bent outward under tyre pressure. I'd say your wear is about terminal.

I'd say your wear is about terminal.

Oh good. That’s cheered me up. :mrgreen:

Yeah, I think it’s a different shape now.

Easy to check if you have an Iwanson gauge, cheap and handy!

I took your advice and bought an Iwanson gauge... as you say, was cheap enough, and should come in handy.

Actually though it's no good for measuring wear on these rims due to the overall construction/internal profile. :facepalm:

My gut feeling though from checking what i can with the tool is that the rim probably has a fair bit of life left in it. I should have left it in one piece... it's probably too rough to be worth the effort pf building up, what with the corrosion to eyelets etc...

Oh well, live and learn.

Isn't the line in the middle of the brake track a wear indicator?
